Here’s What You Need To Know About LA’s New Cannabis Regulations

California’s cannabis laws are continuing to take shape. For example, Los Angeles lawmakers have recently come up with a bunch of new cannabis regulations. Here’s what you need to know about LA’s emerging legal weed scene.

LA Cannabis Regulations For Consumers

It’s easiest to think about LA’s cannabis regulations in two main sections. There are the rules for consuming it and the rules for selling it. Let’s start by breaking down the consumer’s side of things.

So far, LA is sticking pretty closely to state-wide cannabis regulations. Many of these laws were part of last year’s Proposition 64, which called for the legalization of recreational weed. The bill passed in the elections.

Many of these new rules are still in the works. In fact, most of these regulations were unveiled just this month. They are now up for public review for the next 60 days.

The Final Hit

While LA still has a few kinks to work out, most people see these cannabis regulations as a positive step forward. If nothing else, they help make the legal weed scene more concrete and better structured.

California has long been an important part of the national cannabis scene. The state has had a flourishing medical marijuana program for years.

Last year, California was one of four states to make recreational weed legal. Now, as the state gets ready to launch recreational weed this upcoming January, cities like LA are finalizing plans for how they will regulate the growing legal cannabis industry.
